Klaus Kreuzeder

[4] When Aera disbanded, Kreuzeder suddenly found himself "stranded" and faced with massive debt and financial liabilities as high as 70,000 Deutsche Mark.

In the below referenced documentary he explained that his physical disability left him with a very small number of options as to finding a conventional day job, which is why he ultimately decided to make a living as a musician performing in public places and inner city shopping areas (busking).

1985 marks the making of the first documentary for movie theaters "Grand Slam" (rated "highly valuable" by critics) and the beginning of a collaboration with Eberhard Schoener for ARD-Klassik-Rocknacht.

In 1986, Kreuzeder received the "Kulturpreis" award of the city of Munich and in that same year Bayerischer Rundfunk produced a 45 minute TV documentary titled "Diesseits von Eden".

Band leader Nemec had risen to popularity due to his part as detective chief superintendent "Ivo Batic" in the German TV crime series Tatort.
